There are two Fallout 76 B.E.T.A. sessions left before the game officially launches.

Beta users can download the patch now, ahead of the penultimate session which goes live at 1 pm ET on November 6, 2018.

The update has some changes to enemy balance, improves its performance, makes it more stable, and fixes several bugs. Also, expect to put more work into your Throwing Knives and Tomahawks!
